The Mercury Analyzer Market is expected to grow from US$345.623 million in 2025 to US$459.909 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 5.88%.
Mercury analyzers are used for analyzing mercury in the environment. Mercury has the ability to get absorbed on most surfaces. The mercury analyzer is used for analyzing mercury in sample form (solid, liquid, or gas), plastic, food, living body samples, factory effluent, environmental water, drink water, sewerage, environmental air, working environment, LPG, etc. The market for mercury analyzers is being driven by a robust increase in advancement in science and technology, which is driving the demand for cost-efficient mercury analyzers across end-use industries.
According to the World Bank, agriculture, forestry, and fishery, value-added contributed to US$4.17 trillion in 2021, up from US$3.51 trillion in 2019. This industry can be heavily impacted if they get affected by mercury in the environment. The release of mercury into the environment by industries will directly lead to a harmful impact on the survival of fish and wildlife, which, in turn, will bolster the demand for mercury analyzers.
The imposition of stringent environmental regulations by governments and international organizations to limit the discharge of mercury and other toxic compounds into the environment is further contributing significantly to the market growth of mercury analyzers globally. For instance, Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme, announced a new project to protect the environment and human health from the severe impacts of mercury, investing up to US$3 million. The project aims to establish a regional mercury monitoring laboratory network in the Asia-Pacific region while providing capacity building and training around the region.
This is because mercury analyzers are increasingly being used in the biology field for the determination of mercury in urine, hair, saliva, and blood. The market for mercury analyzers is also majorly driven by their availability in a wide range of products, including portable mercury trackers, mercury vapor monitors, mercury lab analyzers, online mercury analyzers, and ultra-tracer mercury detectors.
By measurement method, the thermal decomposition segment holds a significant market share. Thermal decomposition is used when the concentration range of a measuring object is wide (ppb to ppm order, etc.), as it is easy to generate a memory effect, thus making thermal decomposition more suitable. The market for this measurement method is rising with its wide applications for organic and inorganic matter or for composite materials. Because they are more suitable for concentration measurement, reducing vaporization mercury analyzers are used for measuring large amounts of samples at once.
Mercury analyzers are majorly used for monitoring the environment due to the growing number of regulations regarding environmental protection and active participation by various countries towards environmental sustainability. Growing global electricity consumption is leading to a rise in the mercury level in the environment. As the electric utility industry is the largest mercury emitter, this rising electricity consumption will correspondingly increase the release of mercury into the environment, thus driving the market growth of mercury analyzers worldwide.
Regionally, the global mercury analyzer market is classified into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. Growing industries such as the food and beverage and chemical industries in countries like the U.S. and Canada are fueling the market growth of mercury analyzers in this region. Moreover, strict environmental regulations that need to be followed by industries are further propelling the market growth across this region. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market owing to the rising number of industries and growing awareness regarding environmental pollution and the effects of mercury on health. This is further increasing the sustainable transformation of environmental policies and various regulations that are being implemented by countries for environmental protection, thereby positively impacting the market growth in this region.
